Diehl, who is of Croatian descent, admitted to a police officer that he had
been out drinking while watching a UEFA Euro 2012 soccer match in which Croatia beat Ireland. His prior three tweets before Monday's
mea culpa came during the Croatia match.

Diehl, who was released Monday on his own recognizance, is likely to be late
to training camp this year after a judge set his first court
date on the same day the Giants open for business.

Diehl also released a statement through the team on Monday, saying: "I've
worked hard during my career to set a positive example, and yesterday I fell
far short of this standard. I apologize to my family, my fans, the New York
Giants, and the NFL. I made a poor decision that I sincerely regret, and, as
always, take full responsibility for my actions."
